NIMH T32-sponsored research training program for MD/PhD candidates in areas related to the identification, causes, natural progression, and treatment of developmental psychopathology at the University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz campus, located in Aurora, CO.

PROGRAM:

A combined effort of the Departments of Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Neurology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus along with Departments of Psychology at Denver University, University of Colorado Boulder, and Colorado State University offers postdoctoral research training for MDs and PhDs for research careers in developmental psychobiology, with special emphasis on the development of maladaptive behavior. This multidisciplinary, multi-institutional translational program has a long history of involvement in developmental research. The Developmental Psychobiology Research Group (DPRG) includes 19 researchers with a productive career involvement as independent investigators of developmental research techniques, some of which are technologically unique. Subject populations have ranged from humans through murine and zebrafish models to neuronal and glial cell cultures. Members of this group serve as the faculty for this research training program (funded by NIMH T32 MH015442). Because of its setting, problems with clinical relevance are continually in the forefront.
